Hello,

I have an old BlackBerry Z30 successfully paired with my Fedora 32
desktop. I can send files to the phone from Fedora without any
problems. But, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to receive
files from the phone.

Every time I try to share a file over BlueTooth from the phone to my
paired desktop, the phone starts the transfer and then immediately
errors out with the message, "Failed to find service".

I've tried a number very random things, but nothing seems to work. I
don't even know how to start explaining what I've tried. :/ Frustrated
doesn't begin to explain what I'm feeling right now because two other
file transfer methods from the phone that have worked in years past
refuse to work now. I figured that Bluetooth would be the simplest!

Is this suppose to just work or have I neglected to do something?

I've not done this in a long time since I've found that using "kdeconnect" with a KDE
desktop is faster transferring files over the network.

What I think you may be missing is the bluez-obexd package being installed. Once you
install that and logout/login you should have /usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd running
under your username.  I believe that is the the service needed.
